Is there any way of telling from a picture of the engine bay if an fd is a standard twin turbo or a single turbo conversion?

Thanks

If theres two air induction cones = twin turbo

Single cone = single turbo

Usually?:)

easiest way to tell is to go out for a drive, the single will usually leave a residue in your underpants.

If you can climb in and go to sleep its a single turbo.

If you can\'t fit a nats pube in the engine bay its a twin.
